In the early to mid 2000’s the Dakota Wizards were a dynasty in the minor league circuit wining four championships between 2000 and 2007 in the IBA, CBA and of course in the 2006-07 season in their inaugural season with the NBA D-League. While they had some success after winning the title, the Wizards never made it past the semifinals

During the 2010-11 NBA Development League season, 20 different players earned call-ups to the NBA. In all, NBA teams made 27 call-ups last season with some players being called up more than once.

The NBA D-League may want to consider changing its tag line to “You never know when you’ll see a future rotation player for the Golden State Warriors.” Not only have the Warriors made five call-ups already this season in addition to having a couple of D-League alumni already on their roster, but each player called up this season has seen

Earlier this season, while Anthony Tolliver terrorized the NBA D-League for the Idaho Stampede, I explored the completeness of his all-around game: I can’t find a word more descriptive of Tolliver’s performance than “everywhere.” At 6-foot-9 and 240 pounds, Tolliver is a large man, even by basketball standards.
